Mis en place

Finely chop the onion.

Press garlic.

​

Preparation

Mix the onion with minced meat, egg, crushed garlic, breadcrumbs, nutmeg, pepper, salt and thyme and cayenne pepper in a bowl.

Roll six to eight balls of it.

Heat a frying pan with oil/butter.

Fry the minced meat balls on medium heat.

Turn regularly so that they brown nicely, this takes time.

If you turn the heat up (too) high, your meatballs may burst/burn.

(Suggestion: do something else in the kitchen, for example peeling potatoes or cleaning vegetables)

When the meatballs are sufficiently browned, you can remove them from the pan and start making the gravy.

​

Meatball gravy:

Chop the onion

Remove the meatballs.

Fry the chopped onions in the remaining shortening until light brown (low heat).

After about seven minutes, add 1 tbsp flour and fry.

After a minute or more add water, pepper and stock.

Let it cook for a while.

​

Place meatballs in the gravy and cook for another 10 minutes.
